Saudi Arabia-based game development studio Majestic Mind Games has raised $1.45 million in a funding round co-led by Merak Capital and Impact46 to support the development of original video games for international markets.
Based in Jeddah and founded by Lujain Albukhari and Majed Anbar, Majestic Mind Games develops original titles primarily for PC, while expanding selected games to console and mobile platforms. The studio’s core team also includes lead artist Samaher Bantan and game programmer Mohammed Baeshen.
The company says its games are designed around entertainment while encouraging curiosity, creativity and independent thinking. Majestic Mind Games has also received backing from NEOM.
The new investment from Merak Capital and Impact46 will support the studio as it develops new intellectual property and seeks to produce games capable of competing internationally.
According to the investors, Saudi Arabia’s gaming ecosystem is entering a new phase as local studios increasingly seek to develop intellectual property for global markets. Merak Capital said its investment was based on the team’s combination of originality, commercial discipline and long-term execution capabilities.
